G                   Am             Em           Am          D
How shall I send my love to you in winter, with you so far away?

G          D/F#            Em     C          Am       D
Beyond the frowning frozen lands, beyond the snarling sea

I will send it with the snowy owl, sailing silent through the midnight sky

G            Am       C                    D             Am                 D
And when you hear his hoarse and whispered cry, you will know he comes from me

Beyond the long and lilting lands, beyond the sighing sea

       Em               Bm             C                  Bm             Am
I will send it with the mourning dove, soft and insistent in the distant trees

G           Am       C                   D       Am                D
Hearing her you will know, she brings my love to set your heart at ease

How shall I send my love to you in summer, with you so far away?

G          D/F#          Em     C          Am        D
Beyond the dry and dusty lands, beyond the simmering sea

       Em             Bm                  C                       Bm             Am
I will send it in the Bobwhite's whistle, just as the first light of the morning comes

G            Am       C                D         Am           D
And when you hear her calling you will know that you are not alone
[Verse]
G                   Am             Em           Am          D
How shall I send my love to you in autumn, with you so far away?

G          D/F#     Em              C          Am      D
Beyond the ripe and rambling lands, beyond the surging sea

       Em              Bm               C                  Bm              Am
I will send it warm in wild goose down, the way the hummingbird is said to ride

G            Am        C              D                 Am            D
And when you hear that wild and windy laughter, it will be me by your side
[Instrumental] G Am Em Am D G D/F# Em C Am D Em Bm C Bm Am G Am C D Am D [Verse]
    G                   Am            Em          Am        D
But how shall I send it in that final winter, and I so far away?

G          D/F#     Em             C          Am     D
Beyond the sleeping starlit lands, beyond the silent sea

       Em             Bm                C                       Bm            Am
I will send it in the morning sunlight, in the swift storm that burnishes the sky

G            Am          C              D                Am      D      G
In the soft breeze that curls its arms around you at the closing of the day
